Never Rub The Stain

This is a rule you should always abide by. If you spill something on the carpet or encounter a stain on it unattended, don’t rub it.

As tempting as it may look, scrubbing the carpet can damage the fibres and trigger the particles to settle inside. And you don’t want that. So instead of rubbing the stain, blot the area with a wet microfiber cloth, use a mild cleaning solution and then wipe it with a clean cloth.

Let the area dry. And if the stain doesn’t come out, contact experts of professional carpet cleaning in Brisbane.

Vacuum Is Your Best Friend

The best way to trick your carpet into believing it’s still young is to vacuum it daily. Not only will this ensure that your carpet is free from dust, dirt, germs, bacterias, but also from airborne pathogens that can trigger allergic reactions.

You don’t need an expensive vacuum cleaner. Steam and vacuum cleaners are available in a wide range. But before you invest in one, check its reviews and ratings. That will help you a lot protect your investment, both the machine and the carpet.

Avoid Spillage

You know it more than anyone else. It’s really hard to clean the spillage. So, the best way to make sure your carpet never becomes prey to them, never eat or drink anything around or on the rug.

Also, if you are hosting a gathering, tell your friends about this rule too. Trust me; it will help.

In case, someone accidentally spills alcohol or oil-based stuff, don’t let it settle down. Attend it as soon as possible. Clean up the residue immediately and call professionals of upholstery cleaning in Brisbane to use deep extraction techniques and get rid of oil stains.

Deodorise Frequently

Carpet soak odour all the time -- from you, your pets and from the surroundings. That’s why it is essential to deodorise frequently.

Even though your carpet looks clean, it doesn’t necessarily mean it is healthy. The pet’s hair may settle deep down inside the carpet’s fibre, and you won’t even realise until the complete house is wreaking of it.

Therefore, along with spraying commercial deodoriser on the carpet, you should vacuum regularly, as mentioned before.

You can also use baking soda to remove bad smells from the carpet. Spraying baking soda also helps absorb the moisture inside the fibres and prevents the formation of moulds or fungi.

Groom Your Carpet Regularly
